What does it mean for most of us to be home? We realize that time is just a concept, the same applies for clothes. On the other hand I am communicating more than ever before in my life. I talk to people, I even video call them. Suddenly everybody is speaking about Zoom and despite all the technical progress in our high-tech lives, this situation shows clearly how little we know about the connection of live stream and sound. Suddenly I sit in meetings with 250 persons and we have our cameras on. We finally see the people behind the job positions.
How are we affected here in Berlin? For now, people were relying on our common sense and of course we went out on Saturday to see the sun and breathe fresh air. I think you cannot expect from people that they will sit at home for weeks. But there are also rules that make you wonder. Such as that we are not allowed to go see our parents, BUT we are allowed to go on Tinder dates, because (attention pls) they usually don’t include more than two persons and are about talking. REALLY!? Why did I not get this information before?
But what are the things that move into our focus now? What does The Rona (as ppl in the US call her) bring us. It brings stability, stillness, and reflection. There is no place we are going to, apart from home, we are present, because we can only take the day moment by moment. Something that comes to us effortlessly in a time where people pay a lot of money to be trained to feel the present moment again. The decisions we take now are only based on our current state.
Our priorities switch, because for many years we abandoned our homes to be part of an outside system that uses us for its benefits. And just as we abandoned our homes, we gradually abandoned our mother earth, only taking advantage of its resources, the inanimate as well as animate. Not aware of the idea that by doing so, we also abandoned a part of ourselves. The part that will be always yearning for a safe and happy place – our soul. So maybe it can be helpful for you to change the perspective from: you are not stuck at home, you are safe at home.
“If you want to change the world, go home and love your family.” (Mother Teresa) So how would the world would look like, if we me made home our priority again? It’s great to see how people are investing in themselves, in their families, and homes. Many of my friends started planting plants, work in their garden, which is so symbolic and beautiful. It gives us hope. It makes us feel part of nature again and shows that everything in life is cyclic and under constant change.
And the world? Doesn’t seem to need us at all. Our planet breathes again and is recovering. The greatest loss of this situation would be, if we go back to normal without changing anything. It’s also interesting how much the ego searches for a cause of this pandemic. But what does this tell about us, if we cannot accept the arbitrary of nature but need to find a guilty party? It indicates that the enemy is within us, because we can only imagine people doing something this cruel and destructive.
As most of you know, I am not a big fan of the current systems and being part of them. I am yearning for a breakdown of old structures and only then it will show in what kind of societies we live in. Whether we will be able to redistribute our resources. To understand that the way men were creating these structures, they were following their exploiting nature. We all can see that these systems will never reach an equal level of abundance for all of us. There will never be enough, because despite the seeming availability, we are raised with a constant lack within us. Always yearning for more. Otherwise we could not handle this:
“How in the hell could a man enjoy being awakened at 6:30 a.m. by an alarm clock, leap out of bed, dress, force-feed, shit, piss, brush teeth and hair, and fight traffic to get to a place where essentially you made lots of money for somebody else and were asked to be grateful for the opportunity to do so?” (Charles Bukowski)
We lack purpose and direction. We are in need of correction, which we will be able to find in giving, doing, kindness, and connection. If you want to dive into some insights of Kabbalah I highly recommend the #Quaranteam which gives a positive outlook on the current situation and puts things into perspective, check on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aikyXweCh2k.
Be your great change within.
Your beatitude.
my beatitude
